Following the great success of the iconic Philips Linea series, the new Linea V flaunted its signature slender design and compact footprint, but with an added masculine edge and bolder silhouette.
Design took center stage with the precision-engineered Philips LINEA V, featuring an unconventional V speaker opening that enhanced its iconic silhouette. Integrated within its stately form were smart features like secure docking with dual charging options and multiple privacy settings. Commanding attention at every angle and intuitive to use, the Linea V was a must-have masterpiece in any home.
Nothing was overlooked in the design and engineering of the new Philips Linea V. Impeccable attention to detail resulted in an even sleeker yet bold architecture, expressing purity and excellence from form through to function.
The signature V-shaped speaker opening was a stunning focal point, reflecting the phone’s apt name. A glossy chamfer triangle swept upward, meeting the edges seamlessly like an infinite loop and emphasizing the phone’s ultra-slender shape. An integrated Micro USB connector on the base unit and a recharged power bank ensured the phone stayed powered—and you stayed connected—always, even when the power was out. A host of other smart functions and precise ease of use completed the Linea V experience. With refined geometry and symmetry flowing in total harmony, the Linea was an exquisite work of art that elevated communication to a higher level.
With its cleverly integrated light base, the phone communicated an event or mode by glowing in a specific color. The illumination is so subtle it doubled up as an ideal ambient or night light, while enhancing the phone’s savvy design and functionality. The light is a useful alert for incoming or missed calls, voice messages, and alarms. In standby mode, it quietly sets the mood or softly illuminates any space. However, if full darkness is required, simply switching this function off is possible by tapping a key on the handset. Users could choose from 3 attractive colors to enhance any space in their home.
